Metal Dreams – Vol. 3 – Review

February 22, 2002

I’m an admitted speed freak (the verb, not necessarily the drug), and while Goth metal tickles my brooding dark side, I’m just not a fan of ballads.

Les Pauls & Breaking Glass – A Compilation of Various Sin City Artists – Review

February 22, 2002

Great take on the good ol’ rock and roll apres ’77 division. Much like – and sharing bands with – the Fistful of Rock series.

Judge Not – Review

February 22, 2002

Dollars for donuts, this is probably the best stoner rock compilation available. For $12.99, you get 28 tracks spread over two CDs.

Identity 7 – Deadly Sins – Review

February 22, 2002

Fans will get hard-ons for Candiria, Iced Earth, Stuck Mojo, and Nevermore while being exposed to Krisiun, …And Oceans, The Forsaken, and other eye-poppers.

Hate Dept. – The House that Hate Built – Review

February 22, 2002

Just what the world needs – another Hate Dept. album that reinforces why they never made it big in the industrial scene.

I Am Vengeance – Review

February 22, 2002

This soundtrack works threefold; as a sampler of classicist doom-rooted metal, as a complement to the film, and as a listenable disc from horns to tail.

Garbage Pail – Fake Band Names – Column

February 22, 2002

Here’s a portion of a list of fake band names I came up with for a mock version of the mp3 CD which should be glued into the center spread of this issue.

Zero Zero – AM Gold – Review

February 22, 2002

A huge round of applause to Zero Zero for proving that their former outfits’ (Lifetime) uniqueness was no fluke.

Zeni Geva – 10,000 Light Years – Review

February 22, 2002

At times, Zeni Geva is reminiscent of old Swans, Godflesh, Killing Joke, and Neurosis, but this trio from Tokyo mix it up and create their own unique assault.

Zen Guerilla – Shadows on the Sun – Review

February 22, 2002

The best rock’n’roll band on the planet workin’ right now. Shadows on the Sun is their second full-length for Sub Pop and their fifth or sixth overall.
